Your Network Service AT&T enterprise mobility consists of a portfolio of managed services for remote access, VPN, and endpoint security. AT&T provides the service and the support for your managed network service; however, account administration and user configuration is controlled by you, the Customer Account Administrator, for all users associated with your account. AT&T provides you with central tools to manage and configure your individual account and user experience, storing the settings in the AT&T administration server. The AT&T Global Network Client interfaces with the AT&T administration server to receive configuration information.
Your administration of the AT&T Global Network Client requires basic knowledge of the features of your network service.
Remote Access Service
Remote Access Service (RAS) provides a remote computer with basic IP connectivity to the Internet.
Managed Virtual Private Network Services
Managed Virtual Private Network (VPN) Services provide a remote computer with connectivity to a private Intranet.
AT&T IP-VPN Services use the AT&T Global Network Client to perform all aspects of the network service, including establishing and maintaining the VPN connection.
Supplementary Service Options
Extended Access
Extended Access is an AT&T service feature that allows remote users to access the network through local points of presence that are owned and managed by another Internet Service Provider (ISP). Extended Access provides local access in countries where AT&T does not have points of presence. There is an hourly access charge for the use of Extended Access – the amount of which is based on the region in which the Extended Access takes place.
AT&T Global Network Client Firewall
The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall is a component of the AT&T Global Network Client which provides basic firewall capabilities. The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall uses the Windows firewall engine for the firewall and fencing.

AT&T Authentication Server
Many customers allow AT&T to manage their user authentication via the AT&T authentication server (a.k.a. AT&T Service Manager). You, as the Customer Account Administrator, can define and administer the users within your account using central tools.
RADIUS
It may be possible for the AT&T authentication server to interface with your RADIUS server for user authentication. User accounts are defined in the AT&T authentication server for administration and all authentication requests proxy to your RADIUS server via the AT&T authentication server for validation.
Authentication Providers
Several authentication options are supported with the AT&T Global Network Client. Both hardware token as well as software token solutions are supported. RSA SecurID®, RSA SoftToken, SafeWord, CryptoCard, Defender, and other multi-factor authentications are all supported via RADIUS. Most multi-factor solutions should be supported. Please open a change request or contact the AT&T account team if you find a solution that is not working as expected.
LDAP/Digital Certificates
AT&T offers the use of Entrust and Microsoft digital certificates to authenticate users for Internet and AT&T IP-VPN services. Use of certificates may require custom software development at a cost to our customers. Contact your AT&T account team to engage product management for assistance.

The single file executable has the benefit of detecting previous AT&T Global Network Client installations and automatically performing the correct upgrade. The compressed single file MSI (.msi) installation package is useful if you wish to use a software distribution
technology to push software updates out to your users.
The AT&T Global Network Client is distributed for local installation. Customization and pre-installation configuration are supported. Microsoft Windows Administrator rights are required when the AT&T Global Network Client is installed.

-19-
Local Installation
A local installation is initiated by the user on the target machine by executing one of the AT&T Global Network Client installation packages.
Group Policy Distribution
When installing the AT&T Global Network Client using an Active Directory Group Policy you must define a new object in your Group Policy manager and define the Software Installation Package with the full network path to the installation files, not the local path to the files. The installation files must be copied to the local machine to do the installation.
Upgrading Previous Releases
If you already have the AT&T Global Network Client (version 7 or later) installed on your workstation, the installation can perform an upgrade to version 9.x. During the upgrade, the previous AT&T Global Network Client will be uninstalled, the workstation may be rebooted, and then the new AT&T Global Network Client will be installed. Administrators can suppress the reboot after the previous AT&T Global Network Client has been uninstalled by setting the installation property “SUPPRESS_UPGRADE_REBOOT=1” for the installation package but this feature is not recommended and will require detailed testing on your part prior to selection. For more information, refer to the chapter titledAdvanced Customizations Using Windows Installer.”
As part of the upgrade process, the user’s data and AT&T Global Network Client customizations will be preserved whenever possible. This is accomplished by renaming, then restoring the user’s data directory and the custom data directory. Installation package customizations, such as a custom desktop icon, will not be preserved. More information about customizations can be found in the Customizations chapter of this guide.

Selecting Your Language Support
The AT&T Global Network Client automatically installs support for running in English, French, German, and Spanish. If the installation is being performed on a Japanese version of the operating system, the installation will also install support for running in Japanese2.
Installing the files necessary to support English is required. Support for other languages is configurable using the Custom installation path.
The default language for the installation dialogs is English. To display the installation dialogs in French, German, Japanese or Spanish, or to automatically configure the languages installed for use by the AT&T Global Network Client, an installation Transform can be used. For more information on customizing the AT&T Global Network Client installation program, see the section titled Advanced Customizations Using Windows Installer
Filter Driver Installation
If a workstation has several filter drivers installed, such as if it has multiple VPN client installed, the AT&T Global Network Client installation may reach the default maximum number of filter drivers allowed, which would prevent installation of the client. The installation program will attempt to automatically prevent a driver installation error when installing the AT&T Global Network Filter Driver on Windows 7 and later. Upon detection of the error, the installation program is designed to increase the MaxNumFilters key by 1. It will then continue with the installation. The installation program will continue incrementing the MaxNumFilters until it is able to complete the installation.
2 Japanese is only supported if installed on a Japanese version of the Microsoft Windows Operating System.

Post Connection Script
In addition to starting the programs configured in the Autostart Preferences, the AT&T Global Network Client has been designed to automatically run a custom VBScript after connecting if provided by the Customer Account Administrator. The application will run a VBScript file named PostConnectScript.vbs if it is present in the directory in which the AT&T Global Network Client is installed. The system administrator may have to give execute permissions to this file. By having a script file (PostConnectScript.vbs), you have the flexibility to do a variety of common post connection tasks such as:
• Drive Mapping
• Launch your own VPN Client
• Launch messages to the User
• Record AT&T Global Network Client usage data

Connection Features The AT&T Global Network Client accommodates common transitions in network connectivity when users roam between networks or locations.
Persistent Connections
When enabled, the Persistent Connections feature will automatically connect or reconnect the AT&T Global Network Client with little or no user interaction. Persistent Connections can be used with all AT&T services as well as credential-less connections. For AT&T services, it must be configured both in the AT&T Global Network Client and the AT&T administration server. For Credential-less internet connections, the setting can be controlled with just the AT&T Global Network Client.
One example of the Persistent Connection advantage is a user with an active AT&T Global Network Client connection whose machine enters hibernation state, automatically disconnecting the AT&T Global Network Client connection. When the user returns and resumes their work, the AT&T Global Network Client enabled with Persistent Connections is designed to automatically initiate a connection attempt to establish connectivity, without action from the user. If the Save Password option is enabled, no user interaction is required to establish the new connection.
Persistent Connections does not maintain the current connection; when enabled, a new connection is established when necessary.
Configuration for AT&T Services (AT&T VPN or Business Internet Services)
The Persistent Connections feature requires:
• The Persistent Connection option must be enabled in the AT&T administration server. See Appendix A Central Configuration for additional information.
• The “Persistent connection mode” must be checked in the Login Properties of the AT&T Global Network Client.
User Preference
The user can be given the option to disable the use of Persistent Connections for one or more profiles using the Allow Persistent Connections property on the Preferences tab of the Login Properties dialog.

Persistent Connection Mode
When the Persistent connection mode property in the Login Properties dialog is disabled, a Persistent Connection will not be supported regardless of the value of the Persistent Connection Mode option in AT&T administration server.
The Persistent connection mode uses broadband, Wi-Fi or Mobile connections.
Enabling Persistent Connections during Installation
To simplify the end user experience for setting up and using Persistent Connections, a user can select the Custom setup type during installation and enable the default settings for the Persistent Connection mode. On the Installation Options dialog, under the Network Access Options, enable the checkbox next to Default settings for Persistent Connection mode.

When this checkbox is checked, the installation program will:
• Create a shortcut to the AT&T Global Network Client executable in the All Users Startup folder.
• Enable the Minimize main window to system tray checkbox in the When this program starts section of the Preferences tab of Login Properties.
• Enable the Minimize main window to system tray instead of taskbar checkbox in the After connecting section of the Preferences tab of Login Properties.
Default Persistent Connection preferences can also be enabled by the Customer Account Administrator through customization. See the chapter on Customizations for more information on public properties of the AT&T Global Network Client.
VPN Mobility
When enabled, VPN Mobility attempts to maintain your VPN connection regardless of transitions in underlying network connectivity. VPN Mobility will not renegotiate a new VPN tunnel, but rather attempt to maintain an existing tunnel.
One example of the VPN Mobility advantage is a user with an active AT&T Global Network Client connection who is using a wired Ethernet network. The user unplugs his or her Ethernet cable to connect to the nearest Wi-Fi Hotspot Directory. The VPN tunnel will remain available in a suspended state on the VPN Server for a specified duration. VPN Mobility will automatically attempt to move the tunnel to the new network once the user associates to the Wi-Fi hotspot, without additional interaction from the user. Most applications will be unaware of the transition of the tunnel3.
Unlike Persistent Connections, VPN Mobility attempts to maintain the same VPN connection, if it is unsuccessful, Persistent Connections must also be enabled for a new VPN connection to be established.
VPN Mobility does not require the Save Password option to be enabled.
Limitations
This feature is supported using AT&T propriety design; therefore the following limitations are required:
3 Technology and applications dependent on TCP timeouts will not support the transition of the tunnel if the TCP timeout has expired before the tunnel was reestablished.

VPN Mobility can only be supported using an AT&T SIG VPN Server as the tunnel terminating device for AT&T VPN Tunneling Services or the AT&T VIG with the AT&T Network-Based IP VPN Remote Access service.
VPN Mobility can only be supported using single-sign-on as the authentication method.
VPN Mobility will not work if the device enters the low power/hibernation state. If the user’s device enters a low power or hibernation state the connection is automatically terminated.
Configuration
The VPN Mobility feature requires:
• The VPN Mobility option must be enabled in the AT&T administration server. See Appendix A Central Configuration for additional information.
• The VPN Mobility Duration option must be set to a value greater than zero in the AT&T administration server. See Appendix A Central Configuration for additional information.
Advanced Configuration
By default the VPN Mobility feature will sustain the VPN Connection using the default route. If multiple paths are available the prioritization is Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Mobile.
Users and administrators can define a custom network interface prioritization using the Login Properties dialog. Select Login Properties, VPN Mobility tab, enable the checkbox next to Override defaults, enable the checkbox next to Operate in VPN Mobility mode, select Create my own network interface prioritization and click Configure.

It is important to note that when a custom network prioritization is defined, the VPN connection will automatically be moved to the highest priority network interface even if the current network interface is still available.
User Preference
The user can be given the option to disable the use of VPN Mobility for one or more profiles using the Operate in VPN Mobility mode property on the VPN Mobility tab of the Login Properties dialog.
AutoReconnect
The AT&T Global Network Client supports connecting and reconnecting sessions for connection drops or for switching to AT&T Wi-Fi or AT&T Partner Hotspots when connected with a Mobile connection. These settings can be specified by your Customer Account Administrator in the AT&T Service Manager.
By setting the Automatically reconnect option, the existing connection will be re-established with another available connection. VPN sessions can also be re-established without having to re-enter credentials.
The Automatically Switch to attwifi... option will switch your connection over to one of AT&T's free Wi-Fi hotpots or partner hotspot when connected with a Mobility connection. The target hotspot must have a “strong” signal of at least 60% before the client will switch to Wi-Fi. The Time before switch option is a

safeguard against switching to AT&T's Wi-Fi in a drive-by/drive away siutation and losing your existing session altogether. The switch can be automatic or prompted depening on the Prompt to switch setting.
Advanced reconnect settings allow you to control how the Autoreconnect will happen: Automatically, Prompt or after the VPN session times out.
Prevent Multi-Homing
When enabled, the Prevent Multi-Homing feature prevents the ability for other network interfaces to be made available once a connection has been established through the AT&T Global Network Client. For example, this feature prevents an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection from becoming active while connected over a mobile connection.
Additionally, the user will not be able to install or enable any new network interfaces through the Windows Control Panel while connected.
Configuration
The Prevent Multi-Homing feature can be enabled by the user unless the option to do so is disabled by the Customer Account Administrator through customization. See the chapter on Customizations for more information on public properties of the AT&T Global Network Client.
User Preference
The user can be given the option to enable the Prevent Multi-Homing feature for one or more profiles using the Enable additional adapter security (prevent multi-homing) property on the Preferences tab of the Login Properties dialog.
AutoConnect Feature
Certain Mobile devices allow the AT&T Global Network Client to monitor the Connected state. When supported by the mobile device, if the AT&T Global Network Client recognizes a mobile connection is active, and the default Profile is Internet, the AT&T Global Network Client will reflect the Connected state when the AT&T Global Network Client is launched.
Prevent Multi-Homing Feature insures all traffic flows through the active connection established by the AT&T Client: Use it if you have multiple connections and need additional adapter security.

Software Updates The AT&T Global Network Client is designed to automatically attempt to update the following components after initial installation and on regular intervals thereafter:
Depending on your Operating System, Microsoft Windows Administrator Rights may be required for automatic software update of the AT&T Global Network Client software.
Suppress Program Updates
Because many customers want to control deployment of software to their corporate devices, the Customer Account Administrator can opt to suppress the check for Program Updates. This capability can be suppressed using a Windows Installer public property. See the Public Properties section later in this guide for additional details.
User Permissions
Hotspot Directory updates, mobile firmware updates and dynamic customization updates can be applied without Administrator rights.
Software Update Process
Updates to the Hotspot Directory are downloaded from http://eaccess-cdn.att.com. The update service attempts to download the current version file from the server directly, without using any proxy settings. If the attempt fails, the update service will attempt to retrieve the version file using the proxy settings stored in Microsoft Windows Internet Options. If the file was successfully retrieved using the attempt through the proxy server, future attempts will automatically be retrieved using the proxy.
The available versions are compared against the installed versions of the AT&T Global Network Client software and the Hotspot Directory to determine if a newer version is available.
Automated Check for Updates
A service that periodically checks for updates to all AT&T Global Network Client software components is installed with the AT&T Global Network Client and runs in the background when your Windows machine boots up. It does not require the AT&T Global Network Client to be running.
If an update is available, the download is initiated. Downloads in the background run at low priority and only occur when the workstation is idle. A system tray icon will be displayed when checking or retrieving and installing updates. If the user holds the mouse pointer over the icon, the current status of the

Common Windows Installer Properties
Network administrators frequently deploy applications via a command line or with a transform. Properties can be set in a transform and on the command line, as well.
Property Example Intended Use
ADDLOCAL ADDLOCAL=PLAP List the features you want to install locally, separated by commas.
INSTALLDIR INSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\AT&T Global Network Client
The main installation directory for the product.
PRODUCTNAME AT&T Global Network Client
The name of the application.
Using the Command Line to Customize Installation
Using the Public Properties and understanding the Features available in each AT&T Global Network Client Edition, you can customize your installation package using command line switches and parameters.
When using command line customization, any default parameters normally set by the AT&T Global Network Client installation are superceded by the parameters set on the command line. If using command line customization you must replicate the default parameters normally set by the AT&T Global Network Client program (such as generation of an installation log).
Windows Installer command line switches are described on the Microsoft MSDN site at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988.aspx

A transform is available if you are unable to create the customization you desire using only command line options. A transform provides advanced customization which is applied to the standard installation package at the time of installation.
One important capability of a transform is that if done properly, it can be written to apply to several versions of the AT&T Global Network Client Installer packages. Also, patches that are created for the

-55-
standard AT&T Global Network Client Installer package should also apply to AT&T Global Network Client packages that have been customized with a transform if the transform has been implemented correctly.
To preserve as much as possible of the typical behavior of the standard Windows Installer package, your transform should make as few changes as possible. That means that you should first try to accomplish the modification by changing values in the Property table, rather than by making more extensive changes in the MSI database. It is recommended all changes are done with a minimalist approach to avoid unintended consequences.
Tools to Create a Transform
Microsoft Windows Platform SDK contains tools which can assist you in creating a transform. You must obtain and install the Windows Platform SDK relevant to your operating system to have access to the tools.
The Microsoft tool named Orca can open and edit MSI transform files. When Orca is installed as part of the Windows Platform SDK, you can right click on MSI files and select the option Edit with Orca.
When viewing an AT&T Global Network Client MSI file with Orca the public properties will be shown in the Orca Property Table. Properties not listed in the Orca Property Table, but listed in this document can be added to the Orca Property Table for editing. Select Add Row in the Orca Property Table to add fields and corresponding values.
Common Changes Customized via a Transform
Item Notes

These files should be “new” files that are not in the original setup.
Things That Must Be Avoided
Performing any of the following using a transform will make future patches and upgrades difficult or potentially impossible.
• Renaming the original MSI package.
• Using a transform to deploy updated files that the MSI package already deploys. (There is one exception for passwordrules.chm.)
• Removing any components.
• Changing the ProductCode, UpgradeCode, or Package Code.
• Changing the ProductVersion property.
Recommended Actions via a Transform
If you are going to perform any of the following, the recommended approach is to use a Windows Installer Transform.
Adding Files
Only add new files in a transform. Do not remove any key files from any existing components.

-57-
Updating Files
Use patches or upgrades to update files that exist in the original setup. Do not use a transform to cause the setup to install newer files than were in the original setup because that will make the transform invalid for future versions of the setup.
Customizing Your Password Rules
Password rules are contained in the file “passwordrules.chm”. The “Never Overwrite” property for the component that installs the file “passwordrules.chm” has been set to “Yes”. Therefore, it is possible to include a different version of this single file in a transform and replace the file that is deployed in the original MSI package. Since this file will never be overwritten, it will be preserved during upgrades and patches.
Changing the Installation Directory
Change the installation directory in the setup by modifying the value of INSTALLDIR in the Directory table. When specified during an upgrade, the installation package will honor an installation directory change for a Major Upgrade. Minor updates must install to the same directory as a previous installation.
Changing the Application Name
You can change the name of the application name by modifying the ProductName property in the Property table. You can modify the names of the shortcuts by changing the values in the Name field in the Shortcut table.
Making the Transform Apply To Future Versions
Transforms offer several validation checks that can occur before the installation begins. The validation can occur on the UpgradeCode, ProductCode, ProductVersion, and ProductLanguage properties. To make the transform apply to future versions of the product, you should eliminate the validation checks or check only the ProductCode.
The Project Settings dialog in InstallShield configures which validation checks occur at runtime. To open this dialog, click Project then Settings from the menu.

Customization Using a config.xml File
If you require more than a few simple customizations for your deployment which can all be accommodated using Windows Installer public properties, you can use a config.xml file to specify all of your customization and configuration. If you are using a config.xml file for your customization, place all of your customizations in the file and do not use Windows Installer public properties at the same time.
Global Customizations (FastPath Replacement)
There are several configuration options which are not tied to a profile and change the fundamental behavior of the application. These configuration options are specified in the global_customizations section of the file.
XML Comments explaining each customization are shown in red.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <agnclient> <global_customizations> <!-- Means that the Save Password checkbox will be hidden --> < flag name="HideSavePassword" value="Y" /> <!-- Means that the Save Password checkbox will be checked by default --> <flag name="DefaultSavePasswordOn" value="Y" / > <!-- Means that the Pin and Token is shown and not the password field -->
<flag name="InitiallyShowPinAndToken" value="N" / > <!-- Means Browsers will not get any definitions from Service Manager --> <!-- This includes proxies so only use if you really know what is going on -->
<flag name="DisableProgramUpdates" value="N" /> <!-- Show all Wi-Fi hotspots by default - Service Manager settings will trump this setting after connecting the first time -->
</global_customizations> </agnclient>
Figure 27: Fastpath Replacement Configuration File Example
Trusted Domain Customization
The Trusted Domain Customization allows Customer Account Administrators to define a list of trusted domain suffixes at installation time. When the AT&T Global Network Client with the AT&T Global Network Client Firewall component is installed using a Trusted Domain list, the firewall is enabled by default unless the workstation is actively connected and assigned a Connection-specific DNS Suffix in the Trusted Domain list. This customization is commonly used for mobile laptop users that transition between public networks and a trusted Intranet office environment. The Trusted Domain Customization defines the trusted Intranet environment when the AT&T Global Network Client Firewall may inhibit productivity or prevent remote management tools from functioning properly.
The list is defined at installation time and once the trusted domains have been configured, there is no method to dynamically update them.

-59-
There is one exception to the Trusted Domain Configuration; regardless of the Connection-specific DNS Suffix, if a VPN session is established the firewall is enabled on all interfaces.
Trusted Domain Configuration
The Trusted Domain Customization uses a Windows Installer public property to specify the list of Trusted Domains. Set the TRUSTED_DOMAINS Windows Installer public property to a comma delimited list of domain suffixes you want to be trusted when the installation package is deployed to your workstations. See the Advanced Customizations Using Windows Installer section on page 44 for examples of using Windows Installer public properties.
Trusted Domain Customization Limitations
The Trusted Domain Customization is an install time only configuration and cannot be updated on demand. There is one exception to the Trusted Domain Configuration; regardless of the Connection-specific DNS Suffix assigned, if a VPN session is established the firewall is enabled on all interfaces.
Client Profiles Customization
The Client Profiles Customization allows customer account administrators to define a list of client profiles at installation time. When the AT&T Global Network Client is installed using a Client Profile list, the client profiles are created at installation time rather than manually by the user after installation.
The list is defined at installation time and once the profiles have been configured, there is no method to dynamically update them.
Client Profiles Configuration File
The Client Profiles Customization requires a Configuration File be present during AT&T Global Network Client installation. The name of the configuration file must be defined via the CONFIG_FILE public property of the installation package (see the chapter on Customizations for more information on public properties of the AT&T Global Network Client). The Trusted LAN, Trusted Domain customization and Client Profiles Customization can be defined in the same configuration file.
The Configuration file uses the standard XML file format. The Client Profiles information is specified with three “tables” definitions for each profile, “Profile”, “User”, and “ConfigSettings” starting at 2001 for the first profile and increments by 1 for each additional profile (or instance of the heading, with some profiles more than one “User” may be required).
A “Bookmark” table heading identifies which of the profiles is the default profile. SZLNKPROFILE in the “Bookmark” section should be set to the RECID of the “Profile” you would like to be the default.

Specific values in each heading (RECID, LNKUSER, LNKPROFILE, FLGSZNAME, …) are required and should not be changed. Required values are shown in bold in the example below.
In the example below Profile 2001, User 2001, define a basic profile. SZNAME defines the name of the profile.
• SZACCOUNT defines the AT&T account of the user
• SZUSERID defines the AT&T user ID
It is recommended you do not customize profile properties that are configurable using the AT&T administration server (such as network service). Because of the ability to update the value at connect time, it is recommended to use the AT&T administration server to centrally define values when possible.
Following is an example of a Client Profile using all the public properties that might conflict with the “CONFIG_FILE” configuration file. Feel free to use this file and remove the sections you do not need:

If more than one range of Operating systems need to be defined, then the config.xml will have to be used instead of the LPE_OS_RANGE putblic property. The following example would allow Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1 through Windows 8 Update 1.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370556(v=vs.85).aspx for more information.
Profile Customization Limitations
The Client Profile Customization is an install time only configuration and cannot be updated on demand.
Controlling the AT&T Global Network Client Firewall
The state of the AT&T Global Network Client Firewall is “on”, “off”, or “disabled” and the initial state is set by specifying the FIREWALL_STATE public property. If it is set to “disabled” you must also request that your AT&T representative update your Firewall Setting in the AT&T Administration Server to “N”.
NOTE: The FIREWALL_STATE public property sets the initial state only. Once the user connects to the network, this property may be overridden by the central firewall configuration downloaded from the AT&T Administration Server.
Network Awareness Customization
The Network Awareness customization provides the ability to define an AT&T Global Network Client action to be performed when a user connects to a defined network.
The following actions are currently supported using Network Awareness:
• No AT&T Global Network Client connection required, immediately disconnect the AT&T Global Network Client
• No AT&T Global Network Client connection required, immediately prompt the user to disconnect the AT&T Global Network Client
• Minimize the AT&T Global Network Client
When the user connects to a network defined to not require an AT&T Global Network Client connection, the AT&T Global Network Client connect button will be disabled.

Approved Mobile Device Customization
The Approved Mobile Device customization provides the ability to define a list of approved mobile devices with which your users can connect using the AT&T Global Network Client.
The following registry key is required:
HKLM\Software\AGNS\NetClient\WAN\AllowedDevices
The key must be created as a multi-string registry key at installation time. Multiple devices can be defined; each device should be listed on a separate line of the registry key. This is an allow list, only devices in the list will be supported.
The items in the list are compared against the installed mobile device model name for a match. If a match is not found, the user will receive a pop-up warning them the device cannot be used. The mobile icon will be disabled and mobile connection will have a status of disabled in the Connection Sequence window.
The AT&T Global Network Client must be restarted after the device is removed for the mobile icon to be enabled.
Approved Connection Type Customization
Beginning with Version 9.1, Customer Account Administrators can select to show or hide the Dial, Wi-Fi or Mobile connection types. Customizing the visibility of connection types requires a custom installation package created by AT&T. Please contact [email protected] for additional information.
By default Ethernet/Existing, Wi-Fi and Mobile connection types are shown. WiFi and Mobile connection types can be hidden through customization. Hiding a connection type will hide ALL subtypes of that connection type by default.
Connection Type Which Can Be Hidden

Customizing Default Login Options
The default login options can be customized by configuring them in the Windows registry. Default login options can be stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry branch. User modified options are stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry branch and take precedence over the default values. (See the Hiding Login Options section for instructions on how to prevent users from changing the login options.)
Customizing Default Login Properties
1. Run the AT&T Global Network Client and configure the login options as desired.
2. Run regedit.exe and export the following branch to a file called LoginOptions.reg: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AGNS\NetClient\Settings\LoginOptions **Note: The branch will not exist until after the first login attempt.
3. Edit LoginOptions.reg and change HKEY_CURRENT_USER to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
4. Merge LoginOptions.reg into the registry to store the defaults.

Extended Access Extended Access is an AT&T service feature that allows remote users to access the network through local points of presence (PoPs) that are owned and managed by another Internet Service Provider (ISP) that is an AT&T partner. Extended Access provides local access in over 143 countries where AT&T does not have PoPs. There is an hourly access charge for the use of Extended Access – the amount of which is based on the region in which the Extended Access takes place.
The Extended Access ISP proxies users’ authentication requests to AT&T to allow access to the Internet. The protocol and data flow for connecting to Extended Access PoPs vary depending on the service being accessed. For more information, go to the AT&T Extended Access web site at http://info.attbusiness.net/e-access.

AT&T Lightweight Policy Enforcement AT&T Lightweight Policy Enforcement (LPE) is an optional service available to AT&T customers using the AT&T Global Network Client for connectivity. AT&T Lightweight Policy Enforcement performs basic application monitoring and can be customized by the Customer Account Administrator at installation time.
Installation of the Lightweight Policy Enforcement feature is optional. Customer Account Administrators can use control Lightweight Policy Enforcement definitions using the XML CONFIG_FILE Public Property at installation time or the Windows Installer ADDLOCAL and REMOVE properties to control installation of the feature for all users. See the Customizations Chapter on page 44 of this guide for more information about installation customization.
Lightweight Policy Enforcement feature can also be used to monitor 3rd party VPN client.
Asset Based Connection Prevention
Beginning in 9.6, connections can be prevented based on
• Operating System/Service Packs
• A specified file
• A registry hive in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Operating System
Allow range of Operating Systems to be used
With the AGNC_LPE_OS_RANGE public property, the lowest allowed, highest allowed, or lowest and highest together. For
Allow range of Operating Systems to be used
To prevent connections based on obsolete or unsupported Operating Systems or Service Packs, you can do so by using the Public Property, LPE_OS_RANGE at install time. By specifying the numeric value range of the Operating System, connections will not be allowed. For example, if the company policy is to prevent connections on Windows Vista, you would specify:
LPE_OS_RANGE=6.0.6000-6.0.6002
6.0.6000 is Vista RTM and 6.0.6002 is Vista Service Pack 2.

Specified File
To prevent connections based on whether a specific file exists on the user's system, use the LPE_FILE Public Property at install time. If the specified file does not exist, then a connection will not be allowed.
Registry hive in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
To prevent connections based on whether a specific file exists on the user's system, use the LPE_REG Public Property at install time. If the specified registry hive does not exist, then a connection will not be allowed. For example, if you have company defined asset information entry in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive, that would not be on a non-asset system, you can use that information to prevent a connection, e.g. LPE_FILE="SOFTWARE\MyCompany\Asset\Identifier"
Application Monitoring
The application monitor feature allows a Customer Account Administrator to specify configuration policies to monitor antivirus programs, firewalls, anti-spyware programs and VPN clients for remote-access connections connected with the AT&T Global Network Client. The rules are configured through a custom kit. Some basic Lightweight Policy Enforcement rules can be enforced by a using the XML based CONFIG_FILE Public Property at installation time.
A threshold value indicating the number of failed compliance checks allowed before the AT&T Global Network Client performs the compliance failure action can be configured by the Customer Account Administrator through customization. See the LPE_COMPLIANCE_THRESHOLD public property in the chapter on Customizations for more information.
When VPN monitoring rules are created, if the monitored VPN client disconnects from the VPN server, the AT&T Global Network Client will likewise disconnect the remote access connection.
Types of Applications Monitored
Pre-defined antivirus, firewall, anti-spyware and VPN applications can be monitored. The following table shows the types of applications that can be monitored, as well as what is monitored.

The Lightweight Policy Enforcement firewall monitoring is used to determine if a firewall is enabled prior to checking for and connecting to free Wi-Fi hotspots. The AT&T Global Network Client will allow the association to potentially free hot spots if any known firewall is running, thus allowing customers to use their own corporate or personal firewall software instead of the AT&T provided firewall.
Limitations
The application monitoring rules are determined at installation time and cannot be dynamically updated. If a user is out of compliance with the policy, the connection is rejected. The user is given a generic error message. The user must make the necessary changes to return to compliance with the policy manually, and without a connection using the AT&T Global Network Client.
The AT&T Global Network Client Lightweight Policy Enforcement Customization allows customers to create their own enforcement policy using the CONFIG_FILE public property.

AT&T Global Network Client Firewall The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall is a component of the AT&T Global Network Client which provides basic firewall capabilities. The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall uses the Windows firewall engine for the firewall and fencing.
The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall provides the following:
• Blocks unsolicited traffic when not connected
• Blocks unsolicited Internet traffic while VPN connected
Overview
The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall is designed to protect a computer as a network firewall. The AT&T Global Network Firewall is turned off by default.
If it is turned on, either by the end user while not connected, or through central configuration via the AT&T Service Manager, the AT&T Global Network Client Firewall is active on all network card interfaces and all Microsoft Remote Access Services WAN/Dial-Up Networking interfaces whenever the workstation is powered on, regardless of whether there is a current connection to an AT&T network.
The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall monitors IP traffic; if an IP packet received is determined to be unsolicited5 by the workstation, it is silently discarded. The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall does not perform any user notification of unsolicited traffic. If your computer did not request, negotiate, or grant permission for a connection with another machine, the traffic is silently rejected.
The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall also protects VPN sessions controlled by the AT&T integrated VPN client. Account administrators define their VPN network resources using an Access Control List (ACL) (AKA ‘down the tunnel’ network resources) in the AT&T Administration Server. Only traffic destined to one of the defined ACL resources is routed through the VPN tunnel. A setting in the AT&T Administration Server controls if non-VPN traffic should route over the Internet or be silently discarded.
Operating Modes
The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall supports three operating modes. Certain modes require configuration in the AT&T administration server. Refer to Appendix A of this guide for more information about configuration options stored in the AT&T administration server. AT&T Global Network Client Firewall values set in the AT&T administration server always take precedence over values set locally using the AT&T Global Network Client.
Default
The Default configuration disables the firewall at all times, on all network interfaces.
5 The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall monitors new solicitation status as well as tracking port and SYNC status for current and expired sessions.

-84-
Trusted Domains
The Trusted Domain configuration is used to control the firewall state for trusted domains. The Trusted Domain configuration enables the firewall at all times on all network interfaces unless it is actively connected and assigned a Connection Specific DNS suffix in a Trusted Domain list defined at installation time. Even in Trusted Domain mode, regardless of the Connection Specific DNS Suffix assigned, if an AT&T Integrated VPN session is established the firewall is enabled on all interfaces. See page 58 for more information on configuration of a Trusted Domain list.
User Controlled
The state of the firewall is controlled using the AT&T Global Network Client Firewall Settings Window described in the section below. This mode will be affected by the values set for ‘Enable AT&T Global Network Client Firewall’ and ‘User Controlled Firewall’ fields in the AT&T administration server.
Disabled
The Disabled configuration disables the firewall at all times, on all adapters. The user does not have the ability to turn the firewall on at any time.
When the user selects the AT&T Global Network Client from the Start menu, and clicks Firewall Settings Window the user will receive a message stating “Your network administrator has chosen not to use the firewall.”
This mode requires a “NO” value set for ‘Enable AT&T Global Network Client Firewall’ and ‘User Controlled Firewall’ fields in the AT&T Administration Server.
Firewall Settings Window
The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall Settings Window allows a user to select the Firewall state (On/Off) when a VPN connection is not active. When the user establishes an active AT&T Global Network Client VPN connection the firewall is automatically enabled on all network interfaces unless the AT&T Global Network Client Firewall is operating in Disabled mode.

Figure 37: Firewall Settings Window
Allowing a user to turn the AT&T Global Network Client Firewall off when not VPN connected may be useful in environments that use enterprise management software to manage computers on a customer LAN since the firewall prevents the management software from having unsolicited access to the target machine.
The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall Settings window can be accessed by clicking the Microsoft Windows Start Menu, mouse over All Programs, click AT&T Global Network Client, and click Firewall Settings. The Firewall Settings application can only be open when the AT&T Global Network Client application is not running.
Customer Account Administrators can customize their AT&T Global Network Client installation to prevent the Firewall Settings window from being installed. Refer to the Customizations Chapter on page 44 of this guide for more information.
Whether users can modify the options on the Firewall Settings window can be controlled through the ‘User Controlled Firewall’ setting in the AT&T Administration Server. When the ‘User Controlled Firewall’ setting is set to ‘N’, the radio buttons on the Firewall Settings Window will be disabled and the user may view, but not change, the current state of the AT&T Global Network Client Firewall. Refer to Appendix A on page 100 of this guide for additional information about settings available in the AT&T administration server.
Managed VPN Access Control Lists
The only exceptions to the static firewall policy of denying all unsolicited traffic exist when there is an active Managed VPN Service connection. When VPN connected, the firewall does not block VPN traffic. With an active VPN connection, users receive all VPN traffic, solicited or unsolicited. Administrators have the ability to define an Access Control List (ACL) identifying the hosts with which a user can communicate through the VPN. Then the user can only initiate communication to those hosts defined in the Access

AT&T VPN Services AT&T offers several advanced VPN services. The information in this chapter represents the most common administration and configuration questions.
Using Managed IPSec VPN Services
The security rules of the Managed VPN Services may require additional configuration or specific configuration settings to support your network infrastructure.
Local Resources
Accessing Local Resources
To access local resources (such as printers and other servers) outside the tunnel while a VPN tunnel is established, you must be using a VPN Dual Access capable service. VPN Dual Access allows you to access destinations outside the tunnel either locally or through the Internet in addition to resources down the tunnel.
Customer Account Administrators have the option to allow users that are not configured for Dual Access to access resources on their directly connected subnet by updating the ‘Local Subnet Access’ to ‘y’ at either the account or client-id level in the AT&T administration server. When the Local Subnet Access flag is set to yes and you are connecting with a non-dual access type service, the AT&T Global Network Client will determine the local subnet and set up the routing/rules to allow access to the local subnet.
Sharing Local Resources
You will not be able to host shared resources on the local LAN (such as printers) when a VPN tunnel is established. This traffic will be viewed as unsolicited IP traffic, and will be silently discarded by AT&T Global Network Client Firewall. The AT&T Global Network Client Firewall must be disabled via the AT&T administration server to support local resource sharing while VPN connected.
Registering VPN IP Address with Dynamic DNS
The AT&T Global Network Client can dynamically register an IP address in DNS when VPN connected regardless of the VPN server type. After VPN connected, the AT&T Global Network Client will gather the domain name, host name, and IP address then send out registration requests to all of the DNS servers in the VPN Adapter interface’s DNS server list. To set this option, click Show the login properties window. from the Settings panel on the main window, click the Preferences tab, click Override Defaults, scroll down and click Register VPN connection’s address in DNS. in the VPN Details section. If you have opted to turn off DNS registration through the network control panel, then the AT&T Global Network Client will not send the DNS update requests.
If the DNS server is configured for ‘Secure Updates Only’ and integrated with Active Directory, then the AT&T Network Logon Extensions component is required.

Encryption for IPSec VPN connections
Encryption can be configured in the AT&T administration server at the user account lever or sub account level. If values are specified in the AT&T administration server they will override the AT&T Global Network Client’s default proposal behavior. Multiple algorithms can be selected, but the highest supported encryption level will always be proposed first.
Co-existence with Microsoft IPSec
Microsoft IPSec can be used for corporate protection strategies like Domain Isolation, Server Isolation, and IPSec based Network Access Protection (NAP) while VPN connected with the AT&T Global Network Client. Microsoft IPSec traffic travels through an AT&T VPN tunnel. No configuration changes are required when VPN tunneling with SSL-T services using the AT&T Global Network Client. If you are using Version 9.3 or later, no configuration changes are required when using IPSEC either, as the client will now default to use ephemeral source ports.
For IPSec services, the Use Ephemeral IPSec Ports Login Properties preference must be enabled. When enabled, the AT&T Global Network Client will NOT stop Microsoft’s IPSec service and will use ephemeral source ports (1024+). This enables Microsoft to have sole ownership of IPSec source ports 500 and 4500.
This options is enabled by default. If the end user is having difficulty connecting, and you suspect the use of ephemeral source ports may be causing the issue, you can disable this option. To disable this option, click Show the login properties window from the Settings panel on the main window, click the Preferences tab, click Override Defaults, scroll down and deselect Use ephemeral source ports for IPSec in the VPN Details section.
NAT Traversal
The AT&T Global Network Client IPSec implementation supports NAT traversal through UDP encapsulation of IPSec traffic.
The NAT traversal implementation varies based on tunnel endpoint as listed below:
Cisco®6 and AT&T Branded Tunnel Endpoints
NAT devices are auto-detected through a series of hashes during IKE negotiations. The AT&T VPN client uses UDP port 4500 as the source port and UDP port 4500 as the destination port in IKE negotiations and ESP IPSec data flows.
This implementation is based off the following Internet drafts: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipsec-udp-encaps-02.tx
Configuring UDP Encapsulation
A preference labeled Negotiate UDP Encapsulation with VPN server for NAT Traversal is available in the Login Properties/Preferences panel to allow an end user to alter the use of NAT Traversal. The default value for this preference can be centrally configured in the AT&T administration server, but can be

overridden by a user. To utilize NAT Traversal, this preference must be selected along with configuring the NAT Traversal settings on the VPN endpoint.
The AT&T Global Network Client client supports most NAT devices. There are known difficulties when tunneling IPSec traffic through NAT/firewalls which are documented in the following RFC http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3715.txt.
AT&T is committed to supporting all NAT device vendors that are aware of the known IPSec compatibility issues and comply with the industry standards.
Cisco Passwords
If your network logon password has expired as determined by the authentication flows between the Cisco tunnel server and the Windows Primary Domain Controller, the AT&T Global Network Client will display a prompt for you to enter a new password. The VPN negotiation code will complete the change password exchange.
Using Managed SSL VPN Services
Managed SSL VPN is a client based tunneling solution. Managed SSL VPN traverses customer site proxies and firewalls without requiring network configuration changes. Fenced Internet hosts can be specified when tunneling with SSL-T dual access from a private line location.
Managed SSL VPN Services use TCP port 443 for authentication and tunneling. Alternatively, TCP port 80 can be used by unchecking the Authenticate with HTTPS preference in the AT&T Global Network Client Login Properties. Managed SSL VPN is successful because unlike IPSec, TCP port 443 can be passed through a proxy. The AT&T Global Network Client can be configured for proxy settings specific to connections using the AT&T Global Network Client using Setup Wizard or Login Properties, or the AT&T Global Network Client can use Microsoft Windows Internet Options proxy settings.
Network Layer Solution
Unlike some SSL solutions, Managed SSL VPN is a network layer solution. Therefore, all IP based applications (File Sharing/Outlook Exchange/VOIP/etc) are supported. Additionally, customer account administrators can access end user systems for software pushes, ad hoc message, etc. just as if their end users were residing on the Company’s private local LAN.
Being VPN connected from behind a customer site proxy presents an extra layer of complexity for web-based applications such as a browser. By default, web-based applications will send all traffic directly to the proxy. However, Private LAN (VPN) and Local LAN traffic need to be routed differently. The AT&T Global Network Client enables a user to configure Internet Options for each specific proxy location to handle web-based applications correctly.
Security/Authentication
The Managed SSL VPN service use AT&T authentication server based authentication. The AT&T SSL VPN Server dictates the encryption method and currently enforces 3 DES and SHA-1. The AT&T SSL VPN Server is configured with an Entrust Server Certificate, and the AT&T Global Network Client utilizes Microsoft

Internet Explorer’s root certificate. When a TCP disconnect is detected, the AT&T Global Network Client will reestablish the session without user interaction.
Configuring the AT&T Global Network Client to Establish a VPN Connection through a Proxy
The AT&T Global Network Client performs these steps in the following order when establishing a VPN connection during the initial authentication request:
1. Attempt to connect directly across the existing network connection.
2. Attempt to connect using the user specified proxy information for this location, if specified.
3. Attempt to connect using the Microsoft Operating System (Internet Explorer) supplied proxy information.
The AT&T Global Network Client User’s Guide contains detail instructions on configuring the proxy in the AT&T Client, through the Microsoft operating system, and the browser.
Importing a Proxy File for SSL connections
You have the option of using a proxy.ini file to configure browser settings specific to the proxy location you are visiting so you can access your corporate network through your SSL connection. The proxy settings are used by the AT&T Global Network Client to authenticate and establish the connection to your private network.
Proxy.ini File
You will need to provide your users with the proxy.ini file. Proxy information entries are configurable in the “proxy.ini” file located in the \Program Files\AT&T Global Network Client directory. One or more proxy information entries can be configured in the “proxy.ini” file. Below is a sample proxy.ini file.

Dynamically VPN Connect
For companies who want users to VPN connect behind a proxy server, the AT&T Global Network Client can dynamically detect a proxy server in the network path and VPN connect using Transparent Tunneling (SSL-T). With this feature you can roam from a non-proxy site to a proxy site and not have to manually change any settings on the AT&T Global Network Client. This option only works with AT&T VPN Servers (VIG/SIG/Gateway) terminating the connection.
This option requires central configuration and configuration in the AT&T Global Network Client. You must be authorized for both SSL and IPSec services in the AT&T Administration Server and the SSL AT&T Global Network Client Allow Proxy setting must be set to Y in the AT&T administration server. To configure this option in the AT&T Client, click Settings menu; then Login Properties. Click the Preferences tab; click Override Defaults; scroll down and click Use SSL Tunneling when a proxy server is detected in the VPN Details section.
If your company prefers to use IPSec, but would like a failover service that will traverse more network paths, the AT&T Global Network Client can dynamically failover to Transparent Tunneling (SSL-T) service if the IPSec connection fails for any reason. In the AT&T administration server, set the AT&T Global Network Client IPSec Failover setting to Y. To configure this option in the AT&T Global Network Client, click Settings menu; then Login Properties. Click the Preferences tab; scroll down and click Use SSL Tunneling when an IPSec connection cannot be established in the VPN Details section.
Best VIG Selection The AT&T Global Network Client uses both IPSec and SSL for secure, encrypted tunneling. During session establishment time the Client learns which VIGs it is provisioned to by sending a query to Service Manager. The Client then selects which specific VIG it will connect to at this time based on a “health

-93-
check” algorithm. The algorithm takes into account both the latency to the VIGs and the “busy-ness” of the VIGs.
A standard way that user profiles are configured is for the Client to first attempt to establish a VPN tunnel to the best VIG based on results of a health check. If the client fails to connect to the first VIG in the list using IPSec then SSL, an attempt will be made using IPSec then SSL to the other VIG. The AGN Client will continue alternating between both VIGs for the entire connection attempt, for example:
vig 1 – blade/ip address 13 - IPSec
vig 1 – blade/ip address 13 - SSL
vig 2 – blade/ip address 4 - IPSEC
vig 2 – blade/ip address 4 - SSL
vig 1 – blade/ip address 9 - IPSec
vig 1 – blade/ip address 9 - SSL
...
The operating theory here is that the IPSec tunnel likely failed due to a firewall/filter issue at the client-side and ‘falling back’ to SSL will likely resolve the issue as SSL has a much easier time of traversing firewalls. This connection activity is automatic and transparent to the user.
VIGs are deployed in specific pairs and there is at least one pair of VIGs in each geographic region. For ANIRA, customers are typically provisioned to a single pair of VIGs. One does not pick any two VIGs to use but rather a specific VIG pairing. For example, in the US there are multiple VIGs deployed in 10 cities and users are normally provisioned to one pair. Some customers may be provisioned to multiple pairs in unique situations to address an issue such as capacity.
IPv6 Support
Support for the following IP version tunneling scenarios is available when using IPSec or SSL-T VPN terminating to an AT&T VPN Server (SIG or VIG):
• IPv6 over IPv4
• IPv6 and IPv4 over IPv4
• IPv4 over IPv6
• IPv4 and IPv6 over IPv6
Tunneling is automatic and transparent to the user. IP Address configuration occurs during tunnel setup when the VPN server assigns the VPN Client address(s).

IP version preference
The AT&T Global Network Client can be configured to prefer an IP version for establishing a VPN connection when connected to an IPv4/IPv6 dual stacked network. The default preference is currently IPv4. This setting is centrally configured through the AT&T administration server.
IP version failover
Granular control over the number of VPN connection attempts to make with the preferred IP version is supported. This setting is only pertinent on IPv4/IPv6 dual stack networks. The default number of VPN connection attempts per IP version is defaulted to 2. This setting is centrally configured through the AT&T administration server.
For example, if there are 3 VPN servers and IPv6 is preferred. The AT&T Global Network Client’s connection attempt list would be ordered as follows:
1. Attempt VPN server 1 using IPv6.

Frequently Asked Administration Topics Using Digital Certificates for Authentication
AT&T offers the use of x.509v3 Entrust and Microsoft digital certificates to authenticate users for Internet and Managed VPN services.
Use of certificates may require custom software development at a cost to our customers. Contact your AT&T account team to engage product management for assistance.
AT&T does not create, distribute or maintain user digital certificates. You must support your own digital certificate infrastructure. AT&T uses the common name as the user ID / unique identifier; therefore you must enforce uniqueness on this attribute. The custom client development team can work with you to use a limited list of other attributes as well. Contact your AT&T account team for further assistance with Digital Certificate Authentication.
When using Digital Certificates for authentication you must use Public Properties to set them correctly for use. See the Customizations Chapter on page 44 of this guide for additional information about Public Properties.
Additionally, the use of Digital Certificates must be configured centrally in the AT&T administration server.
If your company is using more than one certificate, the user will be prompted to select which signature certificate to use for their connection (encrypted certificates are not displayed).
Using Mobile Monitoring Programs
When connecting with the AT&T Global Network Client using a Mobile service, the AT&T Global Network Client may interfere with third party programs that monitor your mobile connectivity (usually supplied by your Mobile Provider). Click Login Properties, Preferences tab, check the box next to Permanently disable cellular device support to disable the AT&T Global Network Client monitoring of your mobile activity and allow the third party program access to the mobile data. To enable monitoring, uncheck the box next to Permanently disable cellular device support. You must restart the AT&T Global Network Client for monitoring to resume.
Connecting Directly to a Mobile or Wi-Fi Network
Installation Option for Mobile Internet Connections

Personal/Client Firewalls
The AT&T Global Network Client program uses IP to communicate with other computers on the network just like other network programs (such as web browsers and e-mail programs). Third-party personal firewalls can prohibit certain types of network communication. Running multiple firewalls on users’ PCs can cause difficulties and is not supported by AT&T.
Some firewalls must be configured to allow the AT&T Global Network Client to communicate with the network in order for client features to function properly. The table below lists the required changes. More information about the features is found in the list below the table.

Figure 47: Client Firewall Configuration Table
Disconnect warning
The AT&T Global Network Client communicates with the dialed gateway after connecting using UDP port 7000 to be notified of pending disconnects. Disconnect time limits are configured in the AT&T administration server. If the connection is idle for the specified amount of time a datagram is sent from the gateway to the AT&T Global Network Client and the AT&T Global Network Client displays a warning that the connection will be disconnected in 1 minute unless the user takes the appropriate action.
Maximum inactivity timeouts are set in the AT&T Configuration Server at the account level. The AT&T gateways will timeout inactive connections regardless of the remote access software used. The warning will only be displayed if the AT&T Global Network Client is allowed to communicate on UDP port 7000.
Software updates
The AT&T Global Network Client periodically checks for and downloads updates to the software using HTTP (TCP port 80).

SLA data collection
The AT&T Global Network Client uploads data about all connection attempts using HTTP (TCP port 80) to a server after connecting. This data is used for measuring SLAs (Service Level Agreements). If the SLA data is not collected, AT&T will not provide service-level guarantees.
AT&T requires companies to add policy rules to their firewalls to allow SLA data to be sent to those servers.
Configuration Updates
The AT&T Global Network Client requests configuration settings (like start page, e-mail server, proxy server, etc) from an AT&T administration server. The AT&T Global Network Client updates third-party e-mail and browser programs with these settings. AT&T recommends adding policy rules to the firewall to allow updates to be retrieved.
